Dan Fleming of Woodland Park skis into the Little Italy chute above Glen Cove on Pike Peak.
A 48-year-old Colorado Springs woman who fell while skiing on Pikes Peak died Sunday, the Teller County Sheriff’s Office said, the latest death on a mountain whose steep chutes, ice and avalanches can make it extremely dangerous even for experts.

Rachel A. Dewey, an adjunct professor at Pikes Peak Community College, was skiing in an area known as Little Italy Couloir near Glen Cove with her husband and three teenage sons Sunday morning when she lost control and fell about 1,000 feet, the Sheriff’s Office said. Her husband, Grant Dewey, told authorities that his wife was an “advanced skier.” Her family was with her until the arrival of deputies and Cascade Fire Department EMTs, who tried unsuccessfully to revive her, the Sheriff’s Office said.
